I masked, stamped, and colored them with Copic markers, and then kept it rather simple. I kept hemming and hawing about added some background shading or texture, and in the end, I always know that if I think about it too long, it isn’t a good idea. Ha! 🙂 Ask me how I know. 😉 eeeeeep! He is a cutie right? AND he’s holding coffee. 🙂

This stamp was perfect for me to spill over. 😉 😉

Again, I thought I’d join in the Little Tangles Challenge this month. 🙂 Great timing for this challenge and my groove, apparently! 🙂Anything Goes! Check it out HERE! 🙂

This is my last week guesting over at the Color Throwdown! I’ve enjoyed it so!

Here are this week’s colors:

I cannot hide the fact that this card took me forever to land on. I blame the cake. 😉

Here’s my take:I wasn’t sure as I was making this, but in the end…whoah, I feel like this card completely evokes summer! 😉This card was made with Technique Tuesday’s: Summer Adventure. A VERY summery fun set! 🙂

Thanks so much to my friend Lisa ❤ (Go Blue!) and the talented Color Throwdown team ❤ for having me over to create this month!! I have completely enjoyed working with these color combos. You ladies sure can rock it out every Wednesday! 🙂 Thank YOU!! 🙂

Still snickering about this fun little Lawn Fawn set, Flamingo Together! The light bulb went on when I realized this flamingo wanted to graduate! 🙂

Toooo fun! I paired the Flamingo Together set with the new Lawn Fawn Smart Cookie set, and bam, a graduate! 🙂

I colored the images with Copics, and then blended on some Distress Ink for the background, finishing it up with some Wink of Stella sparkle, and a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins. The die cut frames are all from My Favorite Things.

The tricky part is always thinking backward on masking. It’s not hard, by any means, but when it’s late at night, well, things aren’t always so streamlined in the brain, are they? LOL 🙂 Fortunately, I did have the forethought of stamping out a few of these at the same time. So, now I just need to color them!

Sidenote: As I was sparkling up my Flamingo’s hat and whatnot, my Wink of Stella pen had a surge of fluid roll out. It was close to ruining my card in the final touch. Ack! *sweats! I’m wondering if this common?
